I don’t see anyone making that argument. What I do see is people saying that being conservative removes your pass to be queer. And that’s just atrocious.
No one has a pass to be conservative, especially a queer person. No one. Not one person. It is not acceptable to be a bigot, a bully. It’s not acceptable to be cruel just because you believe there is a certain social hierarchy that ought to be enforced. All the tenants of conservatism are unacceptable. And if you are queer, you now have INTIMATE knowledge of what it is like to be on the receiving end of that hatred and oppression and should know better than most to take no part in it.
You don’t have to apologize. Your silence will suffice.
You seem to be thinking that just cuz someone is LGBTQ that makes them a good person inside.
You don’t have to speculate about what I think. I’ve explicitly stated it on clear and uncertain terms. A person’s sexuality is their own private business and there’s no reason to be outing anyone.
Your reading comprehension is shit.
I don’t think you have demonstrated enough reading comprehension to sit in judgement.

Nah, I’ll go ahead and say it.

I must agree with all of that. But, it still doesn’t excuse outing anyone.
Literally no one is saying that anywhere. Your reading comprehension is shit.
What people are saying is it makes him a self hating person and a hypocrite and a bad person to hold office in a party that oppresses LGBTQ people.
You seem to be thinking that just cuz someone is LGBTQ that makes them a good person inside. That’s pure identity politics and simply false.
